The Kenyan government has abandoned its plans for the $3.6 billion (Sh468 billion) Nairobi-Mombasa expressway project. Instead, the existing Nairobi-Mombasa Highway will be expanded to accommodate increased traffic.

• The proposed expressway project was deemed by the Kenya National Highway Authority (KeNHA) not to meet the necessary criteria.
• The original plan for the expressway aimed to provide a new high-speed link between Nairobi and Mombasa.
• The decision shifts focus to upgrading current infrastructure rather than building a new, large-scale toll road.
